Executive Vice President and Director of Research Larry Madin at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution speaks with WCAI's Elsa Partan about the impacts of the partial federal shutdown on the Oceanographic.

Those affects include being cut off from communications with federal grant managers, not being able to bill federal agencies for work that WHOI has done, and having work delayed because federal agencies are not able to do their part of joint projects.
